Tire war 2018.
Well F street 2018 is no longer looking like a spec tire class since almost everyone was on Bridgestones last year.
With the rumored BFG coming out The new Dunlop ZIII, not sure when it will be out. Bridgestone RE71r as usual. Should be interesting. If anyone wants to send me some money I’d be glad to do a test on the new Dunlop vs Bridgestone lol. I still might test them but I just don’t trust grassroots to test them fairly for a few reasons.

That’s all I really know about it. Falkens were once the tire to have but they just haven’t had pace. I know the 615k+ is new but I don’t see it being Autox fast. Might be a decent track day tire. All subjective though since I haven’t run them. Do they make them in our size?

The 615k+ is a half step behind the Rival-S and RE71. Wears well, might be cheaper, but can't compete at the top.
Not a lot of sizes for the ZIII, although the 275/35-19 would work for F-Street - https://tyre.dunlop.co.jp/tyre/lineu...t/z3/size.html |

Looks like the dunlop in my size will be available mid march..
I'm extremely tempted to try them.

Do the V720's still de-laminate or do they just do that on the track now? Any reason you aren't listing the newer Nexens up there? They are as fast as the RE71R, but don't last as long. P.S. Doing Nats again? Me and my co-driver are. |

The nexans are interesting but also spending the money I’d rather get a tire I know is fast. Yep I’m doing spring nats, Toledo tour and nats this year. Well that’s the plan so far.

I was under the impression the Nexens were only fast if your name is Heitkotter.
Just saw another delaminated 720 on one of the CAM facetube pages. Side note, 305 RE71s on 10" wheels are the suck to mount.

I can imagine! 275 on an 8.5 is quite a pain.

Some people think for autoX you want to go as wide of a tire as the wheel will take. I run 19" wheels but the principals are the same. I would look into what a shorter wheel and tire combo does to your gearing but I think 275 would work just fine. Most if not all FS camaros run 275 square
